WHY LINFIELD? The campus felt very inviting and all the interactions I had with students and staff made me feel welcomed.
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? It means I’m getting an opportunity to make friends and be a part of my new school.
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Sports have given me opportunities to work with others outside an academic setting.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? Catching babies (as a midwife).
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? I really enjoyed taking biology during my freshman year. I liked how we got to apply what we learned in class in the lab.
WHO HAS THE BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? The person who has been the greatest inspiration in my life has been my dad. He has shown incredible amounts of resilience in his own life and struggles. He has achieved so much against seemingly impossible odds and has shown me how much one can achieve in trying situations. He has an amazing character and has always been there to advise or support me in any situation. I strive to be as dedicated, resilient, and kind as him in everything I do.
